ASPEN — There are 250 athletes at this year's Winter X Games, but none younger than Steamboat Springs' Maddy Schaffrick. The 15-year-old snowboarder is the youngest competitor this week and will drop into the halfpipe.

After a pressure-filled Grand Prix series that served as the Olympic qualifier, Schaffrick says this weekend is more about relaxing.

She is coming into this week off her best finish in the series, fourth place at the final Park City event.

"A lot of pressure is off because the Olympic qualifier is over," she said Wednesday.
